| SpokenTruth said: 1. Are you assuming that the year to year teacher count is static and unchanging? Are you assuming that all states have the same teacher to student ratio? The same influx to retiree ratio? The same new student to graduate ratio? 2. It was not repealed and replaced. This proves you don't know anything about reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. NCLB and ESSA are reauthorizations of the ESEA with new provisions. And yes, the 4 year degree requirement is still in effect because it is mandated at the federal level and enforced at the state level. This didn't change from NCLB to ESSA. It doesn't matter if you don't think they need a 4 year degree or not. They still require it. Go ahead. Pull up any public education teacher hiring page from any school district from any state. 3. Irrelevant. You can suggest the education system needs to be revamped (and I don't disagree), but that doesn't mean you can underpay the teachers. 4. Invalid. See point number 2. |
1. The general trend is a decreasing student to teacher ratio so they still have it easier regardless ...
2. That's not what every reputable news sites reported and the new law has very little to do with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act ... (your signature is really ironic in this case)
And no the 4 year degree requirement is not in effect according to the Nevada Department of Education, this just shows who *really* doesn't know anything between us but it ain't me ... (a teacher, STRAIGHT UP doesn't require a bachelor's degree anymore and I'm glad that Obama along with the rest of congress saw it my way to scrap NCLB's "highly qualified teacher" provision so that any states may change their certification requirements)
3. "Underpay" is subjective, it's what the public itself is willing to compensate for them and I don't blame one bit when teaching K-12 has nearly become a commodity. Better luck to them next time and get their master's degree to teach as a professor or maybe in a new life where they aim for a higher value skill set like engineering or being a doctor ? (when a profession is largely unionized like teachers are, it means they don't value their individual bargaining power anymore and that they've lost confidence in providing their own perceived to society)
4. LOL, I see you dodged my illustration of how teacher supply isn't a problem regardless ...
